Ascent of Mount Caubvick on 2004-08-08

Ascent Trip Report

In August, 2004, I was part of a 19-person expedition to Mount Caubvick/Mont D'Iberville in the Torngat Mountains of northern Labrador and Quebec. This trip was a privately organized party searching for the bodies of a couple who had died on the peak the previous year. While it was not our expedition that found the bodies, we were present on the peak during the entire operation, and it was still an extremely worthwhile and emotional trip. It also provided an opportunity for us to visit and climb in a remote and rarely visited mountain wilderness.

The following links make up a section-by-section journal of the trip. There is a link at the bottom of each page that will take you to the next one.

Disclaimers: Although I have tried to be as accurate and objective as possible, please realize that much of the content of this on-line journal is purely subjective opinion, impressions, and how I felt at the time. It is not my intention to defame or misrepresent anyone or their actions; indeed, I have the highest respect and admiration for everyone I met while on this trip, especially my teammates.
